DANVILLE, Ky.- The Centre men's lacrosse team returned home after a two-game road stent to host Albion University. After a fourth-quarter scoring surge, the Colonels bettered the Britons 16-9, improving to a 4-1 overall mark.

HIGHLIGHTS
 - The Colonels took a brief lead in the initial minute, finding a goal in Ryan Black before the Britons evened the score. Centre regained the lead with a trio of unbroken goals from Noah Malubay and David Caldwell. The Britons hit back with a pair of successive goals to end the period, moving the score to 4-3 in the Colonels' favor. 
- The momentum began to sway in the Britons' favor after the Colonels were plagued with turnovers in the opening minutes of the frame. Ben Hubbs eventually broke Albion's three-goal run during a man-up opportunity. Ridr Knowlton and Black followed Hubbs with two additional points, returning the lead to Centre. The Britons tied it back up at 7-7 with a buzzer-beater to close the half. 
- Opening the third period, the game remained close as neither team took more than a one-point lead. Centre's Max Speers opened the half with additional points coming from Hubbs and Caldwell later in the frame. Heading into the final quarter, Centre held a one-possession lead.
- The Colonels dominated the final 15-minutes. Graysen Jolly registered the first of six unbroken goals from him, Speers, Black, Knowlton, and Hubbs. Outscoring their opponents 6-0 in the fourth, the Gold & White tallied their fourth win of the 2024 campaign.
